Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of automated machines known as robots. It also involves the computers systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.

Hi Experts

 Could you point how to automatize information transactions between systems on this challenger scenario?

A web site called  PMS stores all the information we need to create our booking portal, it holds the list of houses, the availability calendar of these houses, photos, descriptions and prices traded.

To get this information, however, we have a difficult mission, as PMS does not provide any integration APIs. Customer may provide us with credentials for access to the PMS, which is accessible through the web browser.

Could you point if a possible solution on this scenario in general lines, to give a starting point, maybe by using a robot.

Thanks in advance!

Question about AI technologies to solve this "learning" challenge

I am new to AI and have had no real experience coding anything related to Natural Language Processing. But, I am eager to jump in!

I need to find a method that I can find the following two options have a high match:

#1 Frank's First Car was a Red Chevy

#2
Frank has never had more than one car
Frank would only buy a red car
Frank comes from a family that only buys Chevy's

#3
Frank has never owned a car

Are there a combination of AI technologies which can:
1) parse these statements
2) preserve them in some fashion
3) Allow them to be organized such that the comparison between #1 vs. #2 returns a very high match (90+%) versus #2 vs. #3

I am interested to see if such tool and languages exist for this.

Thanks

Hi All,
I need to do a document image template matching with the original document image. Is it possible using Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning?

Basically, we will get a filled document image as an input. We need to match it with the already existing documents image based on template matching and return the identification of the matched document image.

Please help.

Thanks In advance.

Regards,
Kavita Choudhary.

What can you tell me about Expert Systems?

I work for a technology company where there are hundreds of very smart engineers such as Electrical Engineers, Chemical Engineers and Manufacturing engineers.

They are all very smart and skilled. But the downside of every one is they are human.

I look at Supercomputers, like Summit, by IBM (200 Trillion computations per second), as well as Watson, which I know very little about, and I worry that Watson could wipe out small businesses like the one I work for.

How close are Expert Systems like Watson from performing completed designs, automatically? Let's say, for example, an integrated circuit.

I am curious to hear what a company that sees Watson as their true competition can do on a shoestring budget to harness their own engineers knowledge in a form that can be coalesced into a internal use only decision support system.

The sky's the limit on your theories...This is a wide open question, meant to tickle the mind.

Thanks

I'm building a binary classifier in weka. It will be used to check using AI whether the strings in test data belong to Swing UI or not.

Example
@relation SwingComponents

@attribute DataTypeText string
@attribute SwingComponent {yes,no}

@data

JPanel, yes
FooBar,no
JButton, yes

Currently, I'm experimenting with StringToWordVector filter and then, for example,  Naive Bayes. I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. The goal is to pass some test data and receive a classified set, or in other words a Swing UI set.

Test example
@relation SwingComponents

@attribute DataTypeText string
@attribute SwingComponent {yes,no}

@data

JPanel, ?
SomeOtherFooBar, ?
JButton, yes

If possible, please instruct regarding the filters that I should use and the algorithm.

The result this should produce will be something like JPanel, yes  SomeOtherFooBar, no  JButton, yes

I'll use this in an app that scans all lines of a .java file and determines which lines belong to the UI. This allows to later copy all UI lines from the .java file into a new file. We are doing this to extract relevant Swing UI components without extracting any application logic.

Hello and Good Afternoon Everyone,

           I am wondering at what point should we expect human androids to become mainstreamed within various industries of our society.  This question stems from the following link https://www.facebook.com/cnbcinternational/videos/749203651847444/  which is very thought provoking.  I am figuring we can not expect to see such an integration within our lifetime.

With Lilypad e-textiles do you have to pair an Arduino board (nano or uno) with it or are these programmable themselves with Arduino software.  I have multiple LilyPad Arduino Simple Snaps and would like to program them to allow a student to push a button and have led lights go off in succession.
We are attempting to make interactive maps like what you would see in a museum.  Button goes off and the lights light up an army path or the outline of a state.

MY SYSTEM
Desktop machine
Windows 7 Ultimate (x64)
Service Pack 1 (build 7601)
24 GB RAM (memory)

VMware Workstation 10
Order Date: December 4, 2013

2.80 gigahertz Intel Core i7 930
64-bit ready
Motherboard: EVGA 141-BL-E757 Tylersburg
Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 08/25/2011


BACKGROUND
I want to install a virtual machine that will run Ubuntu Linux efficiently on top of Windows 7.
I will then install ROS on top of Linux in order to use Gazebo to simulate robots.
I may need to run two virtual machines in order to simulate two robots, but I'm not sure if that is required.
I may be able to simulate the two robots, including inter-robot communications, using only one VM.

QUESTION
Please recommend what Virtual Machine would be best for my purposes.
Hopefully, there is a free version.
I already own a VMware workstation paid license, but it is several years old, 2013, version 10. Maybe I should use that. Please let me know.

Have too many poorly organized bookmarks.

Don't want to upload them to any platforms to organize.

Was wondering if there's any software that's sort of AI-ish which could comb through them and attempt to apply tags to them.  Detecting some pattern or patterns among them.

I have a number of robots which are actually computers running xp sp3 which are connected to a windows 2003 server domain.,

I would like these computers to auto-log in when the power is first applied, using a domain account, instead of stopping at the log in screen.

I've gone to the users section of the control panel and the message You can not change this users password appears.  I suspect that's because the user is a domain account.

Can anyone help?

Hello experts,

I have the following flat file attached (Input Sheet).
I am trying to build a vba procedure that covers the following requirements:
1-Check if Output sheet if so delete and create a new blank
2-Transfer the various unique values in column H, J and AI
3-Consolidate the sum values for the various month from AJ to BV split by column AI

I attached dummy file with expected Output sheet.

I think that we can proceed steps by steps, such as copy unique values related to H & J.
For this we can use the following procedure: 

Sub CopyRangeUniqueValues(FromWSheet As String, FromRange As String, ToWSheet As String, ToRange As String)
'Sub treats first cell in FromRange as a header label, and will copy it to ToRange even if it is duplicated in the list
Dim celHome As Range, rgDest As Range, rgSource As Range
Dim n As Long
Set celHome = ActiveCell
Set rgDest = Worksheets(ToWSheet).Range(ToRange)
Range(rgDest, rgDest.End(xlDown)).ClearContents

With Worksheets(FromWSheet)
    n = .UsedRange.Row + .UsedRange.Rows.Count - 1
    Set rgSource = .Range(FromRange & n)
End With

rgDest.Worksheet.Activate
rgSource.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=rgDest, Unique:=True
Application.GoTo celHome

Open in new window


Concerning the consolidated sum we can also go ahead with a formula reported in macro: 

Sub LoopFormula2(strwsName, strColflag, strCol As String, strColName As String, formula As String)

'Call LoopFormula2("ImportCC", "1", "D", "Test", "=clean(sheet1!G2*sheet1!I2)") 'example of formula
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Set ws = Worksheets(strwsName)
    ws.Activate
     '==>Clear Destination Column
    Range(strCol & ":" & strCol).Clear
    UsedRows = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.count + ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows(1).Row - 1
    If strColflag = 1 Then
        Range(strCol & 1).Value = strColName
    End If
    '==>Clear Destination Column
    RightFormula = Replace(formula, "1048576", UsedRows)
    '==>ApplyFormula
    Range(Cells(2, strCol), Cells(UsedRows, strCol)).formula = RightFormula
    Range(Cells(2, strCol), Cells(UsedRows, strCol)).Value = Range(Cells(2, strCol), Cells(UsedRows, strCol)).Value
End Sub

Open in new window


Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi
My Python chess project new approach is tripping up.
I think it might be to do with Thread entanglement.
My engine instantiates a white and a black player, which are each abc's for their AI, random movers for now.

Then I start a game_loop() to handle the game play.

Does Thread "entanglement" ever happen? I cant see any reason for my Threads to unravel
I suspect this, because I have a thread counting the seconds going by on the console
( will help with clock)
But, when I instantiate my board window, the board window appears, but the counting thread disappears. (take away the # comment in ChessEngine.py to reinstate the board creation
Have they become entangled?

My
ChessEngine.py has the call to init the board commented out, so you can see the seconds being counted out.
as soon as the # is taken away and the board instantiates, the first Thread ceases to count.
It only counts the seconds when there is no board

Are Python Threads delicate and tough to combine?
Something in the board class is locking it all up
Code attached
What could it be?

Thanks

ardunio on board memory manipulation have a arduino mega now what is the best way to do the following, i want to have the program running and then update the array on board the arduino with out reloading the program, so lest say i have an array with 10 numbers and depending on the feed back from the card i am going to change location #4 of the in the 10 mem locations that i have set up how is the best way to do this please from the code running on the pc , would i access the arduino then the mem location and go from there, any ideas in this correct direction would be helpful

I want to buy a speaker to connect it to the Arduino and play some music. I've done some research and noticed that all speakers operate at least 2 W.

The Arduino offers a 5V voltage differential and 0.25 milliAmperes so machines work between 1,5*10^-4 W.

Which speakers do I have to use?

I have connected 2 cables (->one from port 9 to vid cable with a 1000 Ω resistor between and second for port 7 to vid cable with a 400 Ω resistor between) and the ground pin with my rca connector's ground and I have connected my vid cable to my rca connector.

Here's the code: 
#include <TVout.h>


TVout TV;


void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
TV.start_render();


}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
TV.clear_screen();

TV.print_str(30,30,"Hello world");





}

Open in new window





my screen doesn't show the message "Hello World". Am I missing something?

Well my dad has recently bought our Arduino. Yesterday I was exploring the environment I found how to save , open and open the serial monitor.

My problem is that every time I try to upload a project, an exception occurs "programmer didn't respond the command"
I've tried this for about 100-150 times but it doesn't get any better. What should I do?

windows 10 laptop
I have a quick wifi connection. I do not want to plug into the router.

Sometimes google hangouts / google voice has low call quality.
instead of hearing a word. I can not understand one word in every sentence because there is a robot noise

I looked up downloading hangouts for windows 10 but can not find

Is there any way to increase call quality or is that server side (google)?

Hi

I finished our colossal collaboration of a network game with a central server, a while ago. I will convert it to python now that I'm shifting to it as well. Is that unadvisable - python might not be optimal for a game server?

I know that MIT had an RTS AI coding contest, before.
There's also ORTS, open rts
There seem to be many similar links on Google.
The MIT contest was geared to a confusing, un-watchable mess of a game, in my opinion.

Do these types of contests have any traction? now? Any of them non-college?
I have many ideas, some non 3D war.
Thanks

I'm interested in using Visual Studio in the field of BIG data and artificial intelligence.

At the moment the latest version of Visual Studio is 2017.
When is the next version due out?
What spec machine is needed for it to run smoothly in terms of processor, RAM and diskspace (and anything else that is relevant).
I found that with the Express edition, I could not use the Streamwriter.  Is this expected?

The Robotic Process Automation are fast approaching RPA , any idea how our MS access developed application will be affected ? The RPA will replace many of the jobs that are currently done by human through automation , does it mean that our applications will be redundant if they cannot link with robots?
